ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ THE POEMS OF LALLA OF KASHMIR JK/NKK 30

JK/NKK 30
khèth ganDith Sèmi na: ma:nas,
bra:nth yimav trö:và tim göy khàsith     |
Sa:stra bu:zith chu yamà-bhayè kru:r
su na: pôtsà tà döni: lösith     ||

Food and clothing
do not quiet the mind.
Those who give up false hopes
achieve their goal.
In one who has heard
the scriptures,
the fear of death
is terrible.
Those without credit
(for a loan)
live happily.

Note: The reference at the end is to desire, which is compared to a money lender. One who does not enter into transactions with desire, does not become dependent upon them, and so lives in a blessed state.

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
